Game Overview

Meta Fight EX (Japan) is one of those Game Boy Color games that makes you wonder why it never got more attention. You play as this armored soldier blasting through robots in these tight, claustrophobic corridors—it’s got that same tense energy as Metroid, but with way more firepower. The controls are snappy, which helps when you’re dodging enemy shots while trying not to get cornered.

It’s actually an upgraded version of Meta Fight (you might know it as Blaster Master outside Japan), with smoother movement and some extra content. The colors pop on the GBC, giving the whole thing this cool retro-futuristic vibe. Some of the later levels get brutal, but in that satisfying way where you keep retrying just to see what’s next.

If you’re into forgotten action games with a bit of challenge, this one’s a blast—literally.
